1947 CJ-2A Crawler Nebraska $6500

Yikes!  This might have been an authentic CJ-2A at some point . . .

“Very cool 1947 Willys CJ2A Jeep project for sale. I have had this jeep for 16 years and have recently started working on it again. I have lots of projects and am considering parting with this one if the price is right. This is an authentic 1947 Willys CJ2A and it is mounted on a 1974 Ford F250 Hiboy frame with Dana 60 Front and Rear Axles. The jeep is currently mocked up with a Chevy 454, Chevy SM420 4 Speed Granny Low Transmission, and Ford SM205 Divorced Transfer Case. We are very close to having it able to run and drive and have all parts necessary to do so including driveshafts. The project currently has 8 lug aluminum wheels with 36″ Goodyear Mud Terrain Tires (old but good shape still). I have suspension seats with brackets and mounting hardware for the front and a jeep forward folding rear seat. The CJ2A has been extended roughly 12″, cut was made at the mid-door seam and new diamond treadplate floor has been installed. I recently started fabbing the rollcage and front fenders and plan to make rear fender extensions to match the with of the fronts.”

1948 CJ-2A Reno, NV **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6200.

Lots of mods on this crawler.

“This is a one of a kind Willys that was built by a former Dynamics Engineer at Jeep and he also owned Nth Degree Mobility. With a small amount of work this Willys would be fully ready to hit the hit the trails. The Willys needs to have the Carb tuned and a new battery installed (has bad new Optima). This Willys has been wheeled all over the country from the Sierras to Michigan. The vehicle was completely rebuilt about 10 years ago and then parked till 3 years ago when I purchased. I replaced and cleaned the entire fuel system and got her up and running, wheeled it, loved it but just do not have room for it in my smaller home with a growing family and another jeep. Make me a reasonable offer, title in hand.
